Where can you file your Chapter 7 bankruptcy or your Chapter 13 bankruptcy?<\/p>\n

Debbie just moved to Dayton, Ohio, from her hometown, Cincinnati, Ohio.\u00a0 She is not sure if she wants to stay in Dayton.\u00a0 She may decide to take a pay-cut and return to Cincinnati, where her house is still located, or she may decide to move on to the booming Springfield, Ohio.\u00a0 Where can Debbie file her bankruptcy case?\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. Bankruptcy Code determines the proper venue for filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Ohio.\u00a0 Specifically, it states that you can file your bankruptcy petition in the federal district in which you have been domiciled for the majority of the last 180 days, or where you have owned a principal asset for 180 days.<\/p>\n

So, what does this mean for Debbie?\u00a0 Debbie can file her bankruptcy case in Dayton, Ohio, as long as she waits 91 days.\u00a0 Debbie may also file her bankruptcy in Cincinnati, Ohio, so long as (1) she has been in Dayton for less than 90 days, (2) she plans to move to Springfield, Ohio, to take that lucrative job opportunity, or (3) just because her house, a principal asset, is located in Cincinnati, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Can Debbie file in Springfield, Ohio, before she even moves there?\u00a0 Actually, Springfield is in the same federal bankruptcy court district as Dayton.\u00a0 So, if Debbie can file in Dayton, Ohio, then she can certainly file in Springfield, Ohio.\u00a0 In fact Associates and John T. Nicholson have an office location just one door down from the Springfield Bankruptcy Court.<\/p>\n

If Debbie filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy while domiciled in Springfield, Ohio, then she would go to her Meeting of Creditors at the Springfield Post Office, located at 150 N. Limestone, Springfield, Ohio 45501.<\/p>\n
